Bond, James Bond.

The Living Daylights was one of my favorite Bond films, arriving shortly before my 13th Birthday. For me it had all the elements from the best James Bond movies: A gadget laden Aston Martin, plenty of action, a beautiful Bond Girl and a plot that was easy to follow and actually made sense (compare to The World Is Not Enough).

There are some uncanny parallels between Author Mark O’Connell's childhood and my own. Born only a year apart, we both grew up in the south of England with divorced parents, had no VCR until the mid 1980s, caught most movies (including older James Bond films) for the first time on TV at Christmas or on Bank Holidays, and we both became devoted fans of James Bond 007...

James Bond is one of the rare breeds of hero who's stood the test of time, and after many face changes, is still pulling in the crowds. He's a man's man and a woman's dream. Slick, debonair, sophisticated, intelligent, witty, fearless and as hard as nails. He's saved the world more times than we've had pints of stout, and he gets to play with the coolest gadgets and drive the best cars. It's no wonder that the video-game industry has time and time again given 007 the movie tie-in treatment. We've seen Bond on pretty much every format you can imagine, from the ancient Atari 2600 to the present day consoles and PCs. Over the next few pages, we're going to take a look back at the most memorable Bond games, as well as some other titles that pay homage to the greatest secret agent the world has ever known. Do pay attention then. [More]
